14 DAY TRIAL // They didn’t win Best Kiss at this year’s MTV Movie Awards, but they may still have a chance for next year. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds are to team up again for another romantic comedy, one that will also mark Sandra’s return to the movie industry. Called “Most Wanted,” the film is yet in early pre-production stages, People magazine informs.
Reynolds and Bullock have also appeared together in “The Proposal,” a romcom that saw Sandra as the uptight and obnoxious boss that gets Reynolds’ character to marry her so that she can extend her stay in the US. Though not many critics warmed up to it, the film was mostly well received, with audiences speaking highly of the special chemistry between the two. Fans may get to see that again, if everything goes according to plan, a rep for Bullock says.
“It looks like Sandra Bullock is keeping true to her promise that she isn’t going anywhere. The actress is attached to an upcoming project that could team her up with Ryan Reynolds – who costarred with her in The Proposal – for the action comedy Most Wanted, Universal Pictures and Mandeville Films announced Monday. ‘The project is currently in development and she is looking forward to reading the script,’ says Bullock’s rep,” People informs.
The deal is not done, though, so fans should not get too excited yet. “The studio and production company closed a deal with Proposal screenwriter Peter Chiarelli for the upcoming film, which centers around a criminal suspect (which could be played by Bullock) who is escorted to court by an FBI agent (Reynolds) when they are ambushed on the way and forced to go on the run. Reynolds will be an executive producer and Universal is currently in negotiations to bring Proposal director Anne Fletcher on board for the project,” People further says.
As of now, though, seeing Reynolds and Bullock together again is only a possibility, not solid fact. We also noted on a previous occasion that word in the industry had it that the Oscar-winning actress was seriously considering taking some time off to see to her family (meaning, her recently adopted son Louis), which means acting will come in second for the time being.
